Lee was found inside vehicle parked on street in Seoul's mid-northern Seongbuk district.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing police, that Lee had left "note that reads like will."
Lee had been under police investigation over his alleged use of marijuana and other drugs.
Once celebrated for his wholesome image, local news outlets reported that Lee was being dropped from television and commercial projects following scandal.
Graduate of South Korea's prestigious Korea National University of Arts, Lee made his acting debut in 2001 in a television sitcom titled "Lovers."
He later won acclaim for his performances in variety of roles, including charismatic chef and genius neuroscientist who is incapable of empathy and responsibility as both adult and professional.
Globally, he is best known for his portrayal of wealthy and shallow patriarch in director Bong Joon-ho's 2019 Oscar-winning film "Parasite."
He was also recognized for his performances in romance flicks, such as 2007 TV drama "Coffee Prince" and 2012 film "All About My Wife."
His last film, this year's horror flick "Sleep" , he played husband whose sleepwalking eventually leads to terrifying circumstances was well-received and featured in Critics' Week section at Cannes festival.
Devastated fans expressed their grief on social media, with one user writing on X: "I laughed and cried a lot while watching your acting…t hank you."
Renowned Korean-American writer Min Jin Lee joined others in expressing their condolences.
"Lee was praiseworthy in 'Parasite' and exceptional in 'My Mister,'" she wrote on Instagram."May he be remembered for his excellent work and creative gifts."
Lee's reputation suffered significant blow when South Korean authorities launched investigation into his alleged drug use in October.
He had been suspected of using illicit drugs at residence of hostess employed at high-end bar in Seoul's glamorous Gangnam district.
According to Yonhap, Lee asserted the was "tricked" by the hostess into consuming drugs and was unaware of their illegal nature.
From Dec. 23 to 24, he attended his third police investigation session, which lasted 19 hours, Yonhap reported.
He briefly spoke to reporters in late October before entering police station in Incheon to meet with investigators.
"I sincerely apologize for causing great disappointment to many people by being involved in such an unpleasant incident, I feel sorry for my family, which is enduring such difficult pain at this moment…once again, I sincerely apologize to everyone," he said at the time.
South Korea has extremely tough laws on illegal drugs, with Koreans who take drugs such as marijuana legally abroad risking prosecution upon returning to their home country.
Lee is survived by his wife, actress Jeon Hye-jin and two sons.
